FTP from PL/B

FTP Processing from PL/B

We need the ability to process files via FTP from our PL/B programs. The suggestion from the Sunbelt forum was to use the FTP.exe

Here's an example posted by Mike Maynard in May 2010.

John Shrimski offered this link for more information: FTP Command List

FTP Example: Works on Windows XP, Vista, and Win7 and transfers an ASCII text file to the FTP host with the hash option to give a visual cue to the transfer progress. Logs to Logfile.log

:START
@Echo FTP send filename.OUT to FTP Server at ftp.host.com >> Logfile.log 
ftp -n -s:"ftpscript.ftp" ftp.host.com | FIND "Transfer complete" >> Logfile.log
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :FTPError
@Echo "ftpscript.ftp completed successfully" >> Logfile.log
GOTO :EXIT

:FTPError
@Echo "ftpscript.ftp failed" >> Logfile.log

:EXIT
EXIT

Script file: ftpscript.ftp

user USERID
Password-for-USERID

cd /Directory_to_receive_file
